What happens next? PP robs you. He sells your stuff if it's expensive. Or if it's involved in a murder like my brother's murder, he gives it to the killer snitch. What pisses me off, when the killer snitch is arrested and questioned, he knows not to give up PP or the gang members.

What does he need the information for? He twists your words enough to create hell for you. He tells PP and the Tattle Tale members a vivacious tale mixed with lies and truth against the leader and his gang. He adds your name on it. The gang knows it mostly lies yet they treat the story like the truth. That's how PP and the gang earn their name.

What's a killer snitch? It's a person who lives in your neighborhood and watch your movements. He usually does it because he's jealous. He wants your Nike gym shoes or Adidas gear. He befriends you. He investigates how you feel about your neighbors and PP.

Why don't you want to believe the Tattle Tale gang leader organize the robbery with a new kid? I hate to realize it. I would have to kill them. My brother's murder has resulted from a killer snitch's action.

I'm working on completing the final three chapters of the novel. I'm struggling to finish up "Forever Broken" on Wattpad. I believe I need to distance myself from the short story. Part 5 should be up by the end of August.

If a person does give evidence or testify, what should a person expects? Do you offer 24 hours protection? It depends on the circumstance. But all people in the community receive 24 hours patrols. Will the person need to worry about retaliation? It can happen.

What is a person supposed to do when a criminal does come after him? Does he get a gun? No, you call the police. The block you patrol sees your station house out man by the criminals. Is that true? Wait a minute the war is not over. Is it true? Yes, we do take a longer response time. But we do our job.

How did you become involve in the Mario Simpson's murder? I arrived on the scene first and came upon a crowd where some of Cody students stood around. I cut through them. Mario's body was covered in blood. I questioned the students but the no snitch rule had them not talking.

What's the no snitch rule? The rule to me is no one tells what he or she sees and he or she may survive another day. Has this rule hindered your investigations? Yes, I could've arrested the shooters the same day.

Did you every say "I am waiting for the drug dealers to kill each other off then …"?

Yes, I did. The people on the block want to abide by the no snitch rule and not help the cops. Why should I make the effort to protect and serve? The dealers fight among themselves over anything. Why shouldn't I allow them to kill each other?

Are you burnt out? Yeah, I am. I have walked up to crime scenes where kids' backs, limps and heads are shot off. No one can speak up to stop this. You got the EMS crew waiting until the police come because they are afraid of getting shot. The victims mostly died before making it to the hospital. The criminals try to run the whole damn city.

How did you first become involve in the Mario Simpson's murder? My mother's "kid enforcers" the Tattle Tale gang did a drive-by on him. Why? I don't know. My mother has stupid and meaningless ideas. I would've shot him for not doing what he's told. What was that? Selling drugs. What else do the kids do? It's their rightful inheritance. These kids are born into poverty and grow up poor. Our company provides them a chance of a decent life. Do you work for Inheritance Corp.? I'm the CEO who wants to save the company. My mother doesn't want to keep up with the changing industry. Our company is threaten by other business owners who are younger and unorganized people. What ae you doing to improve your company sales? I'm branching out working with people I can trust to keep the company running. I see the future in Valerian my husband.

How did you first come involved with the Inheritance Corp. and Nachine Bautista?

I was married to Nachine's grandson Lando Rivera. He decided to go political and leave the drug trade. With politics we could’ve made more money taking bribes and kickbacks, Nachine Bautista disagreed with the plan. She saw it as going legit and a betrayal against her. My husband and I didn’t want to be under her thumb anymore.

Nachine is a miserable witch living in that house among the poor wanting sympathy from the community and respect for creating drug addicts.

What do you mean by “that house”?

The house is like her kingdom and the five other houses she owns serve special purposes. She keeps her supplies of drugs in the fuchsia and chocolate-colored houses. Her drug dens houses are the peach and orange-colored ones where ghetto parties take place. Arcadio keeps guns in the orange house. He tortures people there too. She takes her lovers like Valerian to the red velvet-colored house and promises them the business. She gives up nothing. Valerian retaliates by using the same house to recruit his female employees. Other lovers break into the house to rob it.

Did you have a falling out with Nachine’s family?

Yeah, Arcadio assaulted me because he was jealous of his brother Lando and me living large. I had a limo driving me around, jewelry, money, and I desire nothing because I had it all.

Lando should’ve taken revenge on Arcadio but he didn’t. Who got kill? Lando did. He was always timid and pitiful around Nachine and Arcadio. I told him to kill his mama and his brother. The fool ignored me.
